Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 747 - 748: Wilfulness

"Yumo?"

Hearing the refusal in Yumo’s tone, Mengxi’s heart trembled involuntarily, and she hurriedly continued to explain:

"Sister Yumo, believe me, this can really work. After gaining the power of the church’s followers, my strength will surely surpass the peak of the eighth level. By then, I will have enough ability to deceive everyone! Moreover, I have now used Sister’s shadow power to forge some fake blood that is convincing enough. As long as Sister cooperates, there won’t be any problems."

"..."

"In this way, in the eyes of the people, the Demon Temple will seem to have been destroyed in the holy war, and no one will organize any holy wars anymore. Moreover, by leveraging the prestige accumulated by defeating Sister, I will be able to smoothly take over the Church and use my influence to maintain the balance of the continent. As for those troublemakers, I will take advantage of this period of increased strength to solve them all at once."

...

"As for the affairs of the Black Rose family, Sister doesn’t need to worry. By then, I will publicly claim that the Demon Temple has taken over ’Miss Yu’s’ body, which has nothing to do with the Black Rose family. As for those who know the truth, if they are unwilling to cooperate, I will make them quietly shut up forever"

...

In this way, through continuous persuasion, Mengxi tried to get Yumo to accept her bold proposal. She even shared the detailed plan of how she would later control the church with Huiming, eliminating the elite powerhouses among the human race, to the black-haired girl.

Of course,

If other church members were here, finding their Saintess plotting with the Demon Temple on how to eliminate the elite powerhouses among humans in the future, they would probably be utterly disillusioned and question their existence.

A normal villain boss, upon encountering such a girl keen on abandoning the light for the dark, would probably burst into laughter on the spot.

Unfortunately,

Yumo is naturally not any ordinary final boss.

Facing the silver-haired girl’s perfect rhetoric, Yumo merely smiled indifferently, slowly raised her hand, and gently stroked Mengxi’s head:

"Thank you for considering me so much. But... let’s not."

"Sister?"

Mengxi was somewhat stunned.

Why, after all the cooperation with her arrangements in the past days, is Sister Yumo not cooperating now?

"Why, why not? Isn’t my arrangement good?"

"It’s quite good."

Yumo smiled helplessly with a bit of bitterness, then tightly held the silver-haired girl’s hands, speaking in a grateful tone:

"Thank you, for considering me so much. But... I don’t want to take this risk."

"Risk?"

"Yes. Have you ever thought about the consequences of your actions? What the risks are?"

For once, Yumo restrained her usually benevolent expression, looking seriously into Mengxi’s eyes.

"The people participating in this holy war are all top people in this world, each one a big boss among big bosses, with meticulous minds and rich experience. You little brat, even if your strength has greatly increased, can you ensure that you’ll hide it from them? If they detect any hint of shadow power in you, you, the Girl of Destiny, will be completely reduced to a traitor in the human world, and they will not accept you. Even if you take this opportunity to become a leader of the Church, those who know the truth won’t willingly maintain peace under your leadership, and might even attack you, making the world even more chaotic. In such a case, what would you do?"

"If discovered, and persuasion fails, then there’s no choice but to eliminate them."

Mengxi said coldly,

without a trace of sympathy in her tone.

But that’s to be expected,

Mengxi has always been indifferent to the Holy Tower and the Red Leaf Empire, and filled with disdain for the Fake Church and Sky City? These forces hold a far less significant place in Mengxi’s heart than Yumo. More importantly, in Mengxi’s eyes now, those who always try to target her wife without knowing their own strength, are the biggest instability in the world.

’If these guys really won’t behave themselves when the time comes, then I will have no choice but to forcefully end their political and biological lives’

"Ah~"

Seeing the ruthlessness and decisiveness in the silver-haired girl’s eyes, Yumo raised her hand to her forehead with a complex mood, sighing repeatedly.

’The Girl of Destiny, who should be thinking about humanity, is now thinking about how to protect her sworn enemy, the Demon Temple? Even planning to take action against humans? It seems my mindset has changed now; if it were the old me, I might have been angered to death?’

’Speaking of which’

’If the goddess knew that the Girl of Destiny she chose turned out to be such a character, I wonder what her reaction would be?’

However, Even though Mengxi has already made plans and psychological preparations, Yumo ultimately still chose to shake her head and deny Mengxi’s suggestion.

"Let’s not. You are the Girl of Destiny, a part of humans. I don’t want to see you being despised by all of humanity for helping me."

"What does that matter?!"

"It matters a lot..."

’After all, If I’m gone, I’m still counting on using your honor and identity to stabilize the balance on this world and protect my children... If even you are viewed as an enemy by this world, wouldn’t the continent be a mess later on?’

"In any case, I won’t accept this proposal..."

Yumo showed a serious expression and spoke decisively.

As these words fell on her ears, the silver-haired girl somewhat helplessly lowered her head.

Seeing Mengxi’s disheartened little eyes, Yumo felt a bit of heartache and raised her hand to gently caress the girl’s tender, water-like cheeks.

"It’s not that your proposal isn’t good. It’s just... I have more things to consider. And, I have my own thoughts too. For years, I’ve been arranged and made clear about everything day and night, but this time... I, I want to do things my own way."

"Do things your own way?"

Muttering these words, Mengxi’s brows furrowed tightly.

Suddenly, an uneasy guess sprang up in Mengxi’s heart.

’Sister Yumo? She wouldn’t want to take action herself?!’

’No, she mustn’t!!’

’The shadow power inside Sister now is very unstable. If she personally exerts too much power, might it cause her to lose her mind?!’

"Sister Yumo! Don’t be reckless... Huh??!!"

However, before Mengxi could finish speaking, Yumo’s hands suddenly and unexpectedly cradled her face. Looking at the stunning beauty close at hand, and the red light faintly stirring in those crimson eyes, Mengxi immediately felt a bad premonition.

" Yumo?! What are you going to do?!"

"I’m sorry little girl, I know you wouldn’t agree so you left me with no choice."

After speaking words full of guilt from the bottom of her heart, Yumo’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and several bloody butterflies, under the control of Yumo’s consciousness, suddenly gathered beside Mengxi. In an instant, the crimson shadow aura burst forth from Yumo’s body, the strong fluctuations of shadow power, along with the soul shock, rushed through Yumo’s fingers and fiercely into Mengxi’s body, striking directly at the silver-haired girl’s soul.

’?!!’

"Sister?! What are you doing…!"

In that moment, Mengxi realized Yumo’s intentions. She tried her best to mobilize the sacred energy and soul power within her body, attempting to resist the shadow energy continuously assaulting her soul.

However,

Even though Mengxi’s strength has greatly improved and reached the eighth level, her power was still infantile in front of Yumo.

Mengxi’s resistance was almost futile, easily crushed by Yumo’s power.

Under the relentless assault of shadow power, Mengxi’s consciousness gradually became hazy, and her vision blurred.

After a few seconds of stubborn resistance, Mengxi’s consciousness was gradually swallowed by darkness.

"Yumo..."

After uttering a reluctant murmur, Mengxi’s body completely lost strength and limply collapsed into Yumo’s arms.

’I’m sorry little girl, it would be dangerous for you to stay in Anvika...’

’So, Let Sister be willful for once?’
